Attempts to decode what has become known as the (singular) neural correlate of
consciousness (NCC) suppose that consciousness is a single unified entity, a belief that …

We feel that we perceive events in the environment as they unfold in real-time. However, this
intuitive view of perception is impossible to implement in the nervous system due to …

In The Unity of Consciousness Tim Bayne draws on philosophy, psychology, and
neuroscience in defence of the claim that consciousness is unified. In the first part of the …

One of the primordial functions of the brain is the acquisition of knowledge. The apparatus
that it has evolved to do so is flexible enough to allow it to acquire knowledge about …

Area V5 of the visual brain, first identified anatomically in 1969 as a separate visual area, is
critical for the perception of visual motion. As one of the most intensively studied parts of the …

Adaptation phenomena provide striking examples of perceptual plasticity and offer valuable
insight into the mechanisms of visual coding. Within the context of recent progress in …

Reviews on the visual system generally praise its amazing performance. Here we deal with
its biggest weakness: sluggishness. Inherent delays lead to mislocalization when things …

This is a survey of psychophysical studies of motion perception carried out mainly in the last
10 years. It covers a wide range of topics, including the detection and interactions of local …

Background Color and motion serve as the prime examples of segregated processing in the
visual brain, giving rise to the question how color-motion conjunctions are represented. This …

Background: When simultaneous visual events appear to occur at different times, the
discrepancy has generally been ascribed to time differences in neural transmission or …
